We told you in October about a plane pulling competition which was a fundraiser for United Way Northeast Ontario.

16 teams of 15 people pulled a CRJ aircraft for 30 metres each.

Captain Gabe Gosselin  of 22 Wing told us the aircraft weighed 3,600 pounds.

He said Voyageur Airways played a big role in taking part in the event with 7 teams taking part.

On Wednesday, it was announced $20,000 had been raised from that event as well as a couple of other fundraisers “Night at the Museum” and a bingo.

This is the 7th year 22 Wing has contributed to the United Way and in that time has raised $120,000.
